The case for marine ecosystem models of intermediate complexity [PDF]

, 2009
Marine ecosystem models are reasonably proficient at simulating physically-driven features such as spring blooms. However, the demands on these models are shifting to complex biological issues such as functional diversity, and changes in ecosystems and ...

A multidimensional stability framework enhances interpretation and comparison of carbon cycling response to disturbance

Ecosphere, 2021
The concept of stability is central to the study and sustainability of vital ecosystem goods and services as disturbances increase globally. While ecosystem ecologists, including carbon (C) cycling scientists, have long‐considered multiple dimensions of ...

Thermal imaging in plant and ecosystem ecology: applications and challenges

Ecosphere, 2019
Temperature is a primary environmental control on ecological systems and processes at a range of spatial and temporal scales. The surface temperature of organisms is often more relevant for ecological processes than air temperature, which is much more ...

A Genomic Outlook on Bioremediation: The Case of Arsenic Removal

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Microorganisms play a major role in biogeochemical cycles. As such they are attractive candidates for developing new or improving existing biotechnological applications, in order to deal with the accumulation and pollution of organic and inorganic ...

Parallel ecological networks in ecosystems [PDF]

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2009
In ecosystems, species interact with other species directly and through abiotic factors in multiple ways, often forming complex networks of various types of ecological interaction. Out of this suite of interactions, predator–prey interactions have received most attention.

Engineering ecosystems and synthetic ecologies [PDF]

Molecular BioSystems, 2012
Abstract Microbial ecosystems play an important role in nature. Engineering these systems for industrial, medical, or biotechnological purposes are important pursuits for synthetic biologists and biological engineers moving forward. Here we provide a review of recent progress in engineering natural and synthetic microbial ecosystems ...

Feedbacks link ecosystem ecology and evolution across spatial and temporal scales: Empirical evidence and future directions

Functional Ecology, 2019
Unifying ecosystem ecology and evolutionary biology promises a more complete understanding of the processes that link different levels of biological organization across space and time.

Ecosystem engineering and biodiversity in coastal sediments: posing hypotheses [PDF]

, 2009
Coastal sediments in sheltered temperate locations are strongly modified by ecosystem engineering species such as marsh plants, seagrass, and algae as well as by epibenthic and endobenthic invertebrates.

Patterns and potential drivers of intraspecific variability in the body C, N, and P composition of a terrestrial consumer, the snowshoe hare (Lepus americanus)

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Intraspecific variability in ecological traits is widespread in nature. Recent evidence, mostly from aquatic ecosystems, shows individuals differing at the most fundamental level, that of their chemical composition.
